I used terra cotta in the past as drain pipe. Was absolutely miserable as the tree roots went for the moisture leaking from it and clogged the drain every few years.

I’m using soaker irrigation under the mulch. Not I just need to make sure I don’t over soak it and cause mold or root rot.

Thanks for the recommendation.

🙏

Ollas are designed for use in dry areas. The clay is bisque fired and allows water to pass through the clay and water the surrounding soil. Here is what they look like:
